Raiders coach Tom Cable finally received a bit of good news Sunday after a season's worth of bad news regarding his personal and off-field exploits.
On Sunday, ESPN reported that the NFL isn't inclined to discipline Cable for the recent allegations of physical abuse levied against him by his first wife and a former girlfriend.
Cable still faces the prospect of a clinical evaluation by independent doctors as to whether he needs counseling for anger-management issues.
The league also is considering whether to discipline Cable for his alleged attack of defensive assistant Randy Hanson during a training-camp incident in which Hanson wound up with a broken jaw.
No charges have been filed against Cable in any of the alleged incidents. He admitted only to slapping his first wife, Sandy Cable, more than 20 years ago.
ESPN aired a story Nov. 1 that featured Sandy Cable and former girlfriend Marie Lutz detailing how Cable physically abused them during their relationships with Cable.
The report also disclosed a divorce document from Cable's second wife, Glenda, that showed an allegation by her that Cable physically abused her, as well. Glenda Cable later issued a statement that recanted her original account.
In light of the initial ESPN report, the Raiders issued a statement saying that they don't condone the behavior alleged and that they would undertake a serious evaluation of the matter. There hasn't been any word of their findings.
